CARROT FIELD. CR. 



u 



By 7581 bushels carrots, at 25 cents, 

 5850 pounds tops, at $3 on the lot, 

 one half manure back for next crop, 



Expense brought forward, 



$111 85 



Two hundred bushels of carrots were sold on the lot, princi- 

 pally for the above price, or one-half cent per pound by weight ; 

 some more have been retailed at 33 cents per bushel. The 

 whole crop could have been sold for ten dollars per ton, but I 

 do not choose to sell any more at that price. I should be wil- 

 ling to perform the same labor for any one, at the prices charg- 

 ed to the crop as above. 



I measured the land separate, and measured the crop on each 

 lot by itself. The labor being performed at different times on 

 the two separate pieces, I concluded to hand you the entire 

 crop on both lots. 



I am sorry to report a downhill progress. This is much the 

 smallest crop that has been grown on my farm for the last eight 

 years ; but, notwithstanding, it has proved the most profitable 

 one, (the turnip crop excepted,) if I include the growth of one 

 hundred and forty young apple trees, more than one half stand-
